Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Udaipur

In Udaipur two loyalty programmes stand side by side that exist, in our portfolio, in only four and five cities respectively.The Leela Palace UdaipurThe Leela Palace Udaipur · AmbamataFor this guide we have gathered the best hotels in Udaipur: 5 luxury hotels, from 172 euros a night.

At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.

5 luxury hotels in Udaipur – and how to choose

The luxury hotels in this selection cost between 172 € and 412 € a night, on average 304 €. Four of the five state an entry rate; for the The Leela Palace Udaipur none is recorded, and we do not estimate one.The Oberoi Udaivilas UdaipurThe Oberoi Udaivilas UdaipurFor a destination of this standing those are remarkably moderate figures – and the loyalty side is the real story here.

Our travel advisors’ insider tip

In Udaipur every one of the five hotels runs a points account. That alone is unusual: among 188 destinations compared it holds for only 23.

The real finding, though, is which programmes are here:

Taj InnerCircle – in the entire portfolio five hotels in five cities
Oberoi One – in the entire portfolio four hotels in four cities

🚩 For comparison: you will find Leaders Club in 303 cities and Fans of Mandarin Oriental in 64. The two Indian palace-hotel programmes are genuine rarities by contrast – and in Udaipur they stand side by side, at the Taj Lake Palace Udaipur and the The Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur.

Add ALL (Accor) twice – at the Fairmont Udaipur Palace and the Raffles Udaipur – and I Prefer at the The Leela Palace Udaipur.

What that means for your booking:
• If you collect in one of the big chain programmes, Udaipur is one of the places where you can do so without compromising on the hotel.
• If you are travelling India anyway, the two palace programmes are worth a look here: what you pay in can be redeemed in very few other places – which makes the status more valuable, but also more specialised.

Our advice: tell us before booking where you collect. At this destination that is, for once, the question that comes first – and only then the one about the room.

Where to stay in Udaipur: lake palace, city palace or hillside

The entry point is the Fairmont Udaipur Palace at 172 €, followed by the Raffles Udaipur at 232 €, the Taj Lake Palace Udaipur at 374 € and the The Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur at 412 €. For the The Leela Palace Udaipur no rate is recorded.Taj Lake Palace UdaipurTaj Lake Palace Udaipur · PicholaOur recommendation is the The Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur: with four it carries the smallest catalogue in this selection, but it documents all four categories with a square metre figure. There you know exactly what you are booking – and at this destination that is the exception.

We give no distances – neither to Lake Pichola nor to the City Palace or the airport: the data holds none.

What the categories reveal – and you should know this: Udaipur is the city on the lake, and for most travellers the lake is the reason for the trip. In the catalogue it appears nine times.

In 41 of the 57 categories no outlook is recorded at all, four name the garden, three are called only View. In total this catalogue knows four view motifs – fewer than almost any other.

So if you want to look at the water, that is not a question of category here but a question for the hotel. We put it on your behalf, before you book.

57 categories: the best hotels in Udaipur from the inside

Together the best hotels in this selection carry 57 room categories, and 14 of them state a square metre figure25 per cent.Fairmont Udaipur PalaceFairmont Udaipur Palace · GirwaThe distribution is unusual: the hotel with the largest catalogue carries 25 categories and not a single figure among them. The one with the smallest carries four and documents all four.

Documented are: a Luxury unit at 480 square metres, a Koinoor unit at 431, another Luxury at 359 and one at 333 for which no category name is recorded. Then follow a Way unit at roughly 167 and a Luxury at 143.

The smallest documented units are called Grand and measure roughly 45 each.

For 27 of the 57 categories the record does not say whether it is a room or a suite – 47 per cent. That is why we give no suite count here. Layout, area and room type are obtained directly from the hotel by our travel advisors before you book.

What a night at a luxury hotel in Udaipur costs

A night at a 5-star hotel in Udaipur costs, in this selection, between 172 € and 412 €, on average 304 €.

The table shows every hotel in this selection for which a rate is recorded. The third column says from which night the suitespot benefits apply.

Luxury hotelFromsuitespot benefits from
Fairmont Udaipur Palace172 €1st night
Raffles Udaipur233 €1st night
Taj Lake Palace Udaipur375 €1st night
The Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur412 €1st night

The third column is quickly told: no hotel in this selection asks for more than one night. The benefits apply everywhere from the first – for a stop on a Rajasthan tour that is the decisive piece of information.

When it is at its best: from October to March. Dry, warm by day, pleasantly cool at night. Our recommendation is November and February – around the turn of the year rates climb noticeably.

From April to June it turns very hot, often well above 40 degrees. From July to September the monsoon brings rain – and fills the lakes, which shows the city at its finest. Rates ease markedly in both periods.

And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.

Five 5-star hotels in Udaipur: breakfast, upgrade and exclusive services

At all five hotels come the upgrade, breakfast and points or status benefits. Then follows the early check-in or late check-out at four, and a hotel credit and a welcome gift at three each.

Two hotels bring an airport transfer. With an airport outside town and an old city of narrow lanes, that is worth more than it sounds – ask us about it if you arrive late.

And the loyalty side: ALL (Accor) at two hotels, plus I Prefer, Taj InnerCircle and Oberoi One once each. The last two are, as described above, decidedly rare in our portfolio – and here they stand side by side in a town of five hotels.
